Which degree should I get?
As someone who wants to be an animal caretaker for a zoo, does a degree in zoo technology (A.S) help more or less than a zoology degree (A.A)?

Hello!
Most Zoo keeper jobs are looking for you to have at least a bachelor's degree in zoology, biology, or something related.
There are some animal care and nutrition jobs that only require a high school diploma.
Check out https://www.aza.org/jobs and you can see what most keeper jobs are looking for with education.
Most importantly they want to see you have experience. Look for a part-time job, volunteer opportunities or internship to help build your experience.
I hope this helps!
